ESA Oral Histories Project – Historical Records Committee

Since 2012, the Historical Records Committee (HRC) has been collecting oral history information from ecologists and others involved in the Society and its business. Interviews are conducted by knowledgeable volunteers, and the recordings are ultimately curated in the ESA Archives at the University of Georgia. Former ESA officers and award winners have priority at the present time, but others are being interviewed as the opportunity arises.

More than two dozen oral histories have been prepared and are available at the Russell Library at the University of Georgia. The project online description and finding aid at UGA offers access to the recorded interviews and summary outlines.
